Writing a Simple LaTeX Document
Let's examine the contents of a simple LaTeX file which has been used as a first example in this tutorial. First we must take a quick look at LaTeX syntax. LaTeX files usually have a .tex extension. They consist of plain text interspersed with some LaTeX commands. The word command may sound scary. But don't worry.PhD Thesis LaTeX style For my PhD thesis, I wanted a style which was different to anyone else's, so I spent some time making a personal style file. This style has since been adopted by quite a few more PhD students in the Physics school at the University of Melbourne. Feel free to use any or all of the style for your own work.

Bibliography with BibTeX - Andrew Roberts
by Andrew Roberts For any academic/research writing, incorporating your references into your document is an important task. Fortunately, as LaTeX was aimed for this sort of work, it has a variety of features that make dealing with your references much simpler. LaTeX has built in support for citing references. However, a much more powerful and flexible solution is achieved thanks to an auxiliary tool called BibTeX (which comes bundled as standard with Latex.) BibTeX allows you to store all your references in an external, flat-file database.
Using BibTeX to Create a Bibliography
To have LaTex process your .bib file, add to the end of your .tex file these three lines (thesis.bib is the bibliography filename) : \bibliography{thesis} Note: Using the method above gives you an error log, which allows you to troubleshoot the errors in your bibliography. It is recommended that you use the shortcut below after you have done the above steps at least once.
This is a guide to the LaTeX markup language. It is intended that this can serve as a useful resource for everyone from new users who wish to learn, to old hands who need a quick reference.

LaTeX -- A Typesetting Program
LaTeX is a program for typesetting documents on a computer. It may be pronounced "La-Tech" with "La" as in last and "Tech" as in technology . Note the special arrangement of capital letters in LaTeX. LaTeX allows you to focus on the content of a document without wasting time on typesetting and page layout. LaTeX is not a WYSIWYG program---the input to LaTeX is plain text with commands showing the structure of the document and the special symbols needed.
LaTeX/Command Glossary - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
This is a glossary of LaTeX commands—an alphabetical listing of LaTeX commands with the summaries of their effects. (Brackets "[]" are optional arguments and braces "{}" are required arguments.) a length command (see Useful Measurement Macros ), which specifies the minimum space between the bottom of two successive lines in a paragraph Inserts a closing phrase (e.g. \closing{yours sincerely}), leaves space for a handwritten signature and inserts a signature specified by \signature{}. Used in the Letter class.
The TeX Catalogue OnLine, Topic Index
This part of the TeX Catalogue eventually will list all packages available from the "Comprehensive TeX Archive Network", or CTAN , for using plain TeX , LaTeX , ConTeXt , etc. by topic. We also try to give some advice that might help you in getting software and guides not available on CTAN. New packages on CTAN and package updates are announced on the tex-announce mailing list which is also available from Mail Archive , as well as from Gmane.org ( blog and rss feed).
